Chapter 23

Liam's P.O.V

        For some reason when the girls walked back into the room Bella put a jar of peanut butter infront of Niall and they just laughed when he asked why.

        "So tomorrow everyone will be here at around 2 or 3 and Caleb's family will be here at 5:30, so if you guys want to be here before then that would be okay with us," Mr.Collins told us.

        "Okay, thank you Mr. and Mrs. Collins for letting us come over," I thanked them.

        "Its no problem. If we didn't the girls would never let us hear the end of it," Mrs.Collins replied. Bell put her head down on the table trying to hid her face and Ally smacked her hand to her forehead shaking her head.

        "Exactly how 'dedicated' are they?" Louis smirked.

        "Please don't answer that!" "Mom Dad please don't!" They pleaded.

        "Okay," her parents laughed. They let out a relieved sigh and looked back up.

        "Lets just say they have bears named after you guys," Jacob revealed. They groaned and hid their faces again.

        "Why?" Bella's muffled voice questioned.

        "Thanks bro," Als sarcastically smiled.

        "Ohh so Niall and Liam have some competition," Zayn teased us.

        "Ehh I think we can take them," Niall joked.

        "Errrrr," I growled and flexed my arms. Everyone laughed at us joking around.

        "I don't know they are cute and soft," Bells said completely serious.

        "Total package," Ally said in a similar tone. They shrugged and walked into the living room. Niall and I looked at each other and thought the same thing. We ran and scooped them up in our arms and they screamed and giggles. Louis opened the back door for us and now we were walking onto the beach.

        "What are you doing?" Als screamed and laughed.

        "Put me down Liam," Bell pounded my back giggling.

        "No I don't think so," I taunted her. "Not until you admit that I am the cutest guy you have ever seen and I am the only guy you want to cuddle with ever again!"

        "Ohhhh! LiLi are you jelly of a teddy bear?" Ally asked over Niall's shoulder. I stuck my tongue out at her, "do you need some peanut butter with that jelly?"

        "That's why you handed me the peanut butter Elly ?" Niall turned around finally understanding. The girls laughed and Niall nodded towards the ocean. We ran into the water and threw the girls in. Their head bobbed out of the water and they were still laughing. Bella stopped laughing and smiled in my direction, but I didn't realize she was smiling at Louis who tackled me into the water. I came up from the water to see her laughing at me so I grabbed her into a hug and fell back into the water again. We came back up and I was still hugging her. She looked up at my face and I looked down at her.

        "Awwwwwww," our best friends cried. We tore our gazes from each other and looked at our best friends standing there looking at us with hands over their heart. She splashed the group and I joined her and soon a full on water fight was happening in and out of the ocean.

        "There are water guns on the side of the house," she grabbed my hand guiding me towards the water guns. We filled them up and we snuck back and they didn't seem to be fazed by our absence.

        "Ready?" I whispered.

She nodded and I counted down from three with my fingers. On one we ran and squirted everyone with the freezing cold water. We ran out of water so we had no chose but to take what was coming which happened to be water balloons coming from everywhere.

        "Okay okay! Truce!" Bells squealed. Everything stopped but the laughter continued. We went to the back deck and stood there air drying."Oh my gosh I am so cold now!" She shivered.I sit down and pull her into a my lap wrapping my arms around her and rubbed her arms trying to help her. She smiles and kissed me on the cheek," You are the cute guy I have and ever will meet and you are definitely the only guy I ever want to cuddle with ever again."

        "Same for you, because you are my girlfriend," I kissed her nose.

        "And you are my boyfriend," she snuggled closer into me.

        I rested my chin on the top of her head and looked at Niall and Ally. Als was sitting in Niall's lap and she had her head rested on top of his while he had his on her shoulder.

We were all dry but we decided to just stay out there and talk.

        "So who exactly are coming tomorrow?" Niall asked the girls.

        "Both my parents, my younger brother Ryan, my oldest brothers John, his wife Sarah, Macy's dad, and of course Macy."

        "Bell's older brother is still deployed, Cat's parents are divorced which explains why only her dad is coming, and her older sister and brother are both in college," Ally explained and Bells sighed in my arms.

        "What's wrong babe?" I whispered into her ear so she knew only I was listening.

        "I miss him. Especially during times around the holiday, we had some crazy memories," I knew she was talking about her older brother. From what she has told me her grandfather was in the military to and her brother wanted to follow in his footsteps. He is now enlisted in the Navy and serving for the U.S.

        "Don't worry love, he is out there to make you proud and safe. He loves you," I told her.

        "Yeah,"

        "I just realized that tomorrow is basically Belliam's meet the parents dinner," Harry announced. I am suddenly nervous by the fact that it basically is. What if her parents don't like me and forbid her from dating me? I couldn't do that she is far to important in my life. What about her other brothers? What if they don't like me? A million other question flew through my head.

        "Babe its okay don't worry," her smooth mellow voice calmed me. "They will love you just like I do."

Did she just say she loved me? She seemed happy so she must have meant it.

        "I love you too," I smiled.

        "Well its really late now so I guess we should be heading back to the hotel," Niall said

        "Yeah everyone should get some sleep," Ally added.

        "Well look who are turning into mommy and daddy now," Elly mocked.

        "We taught them well and now they are all grown up," I pretend to wipe a tear.

        "Stick a spoon in it," she glared leading everyone into the house and to the front door. "Night guys," she hugged everyone.

        "See you in the morning lads," Bella hugged them.

        "Night," we all said with our hugs.

        "Sweet dreams of Niall and Liam," Zayn winked.

        "And Always" they winked back closing the door. We laughed and got into the van.
